I try to read the Sunday Mass readings the night before, at least the morning of. I pray with Scripture daily, but that’s usually a paracopy or just a verse or two. I would love to study Scripture more but it’s difficult. I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire in the studying department.

Part of my time at Adoration is reading scripture. I have found, after doing this for years, that something will cause me to randomly open the bible, and find to my utter amazement that the particular text I opened to is somehow exactly tailored to a particular problem I am currently addressing.

The Spirit works in some really interesting wsys.

I also hold periodic “Bible Studies” with the Catholics and certain other Christians at work. I generally find something appropriate (Little Rock etc) and add relevant sections from CCC and Bible Study notes and send out a weekly packet.

Reading scripture IS my daily devotion…usually start with daily Mass readings, then just work my way through the Gospel…occasionally like to just open the book, point to a passage, and take it from there!

I read Scripture every day on my own. I’m working my way through the narrative books of the Bible (currently on Genesis 22). I’m also part of a Bible study, and we are working our way through Luke. My wife and I pray the Compline office of the Liturgy of the Hours, so we also read the Psalms every day, as well as a brief reading, typically from the epistles.

I read the readings before daily Latin Mass and then whatever bible study I am doing which currently is Saved by Fr. Mitch Pacwa. I also do a weekly study of the OF Sunday Mass readings provided by Dr. Brant Pitre and finally a Scriptual Rosasry each day.

Due to a serious character flaw, I have collected/accumulated about various 40 bibles. Some are for reference (typically the 66 book non-Catholic bibles), but others are essentially daily readers. I also receive the daily readings email from the USCCB, and will either read the readings in my own bible, or listen to the audio file of the readings. Often, I read the Gospel passages that accompany the mysteries of the Rosary.

I am guessing that not many know this, but a plenary indulgence is granted monthly for daily scripture reading, under the normal conditions (Confession and Eucharist).

I’m a sucker for a good deal. I have two in Spanish, one of them being a mid-60s Papal Edition. The rest are all in English, ranging from an 1845 KJV that was given to me, a late 1800s KJV with family history, to the Catholic Edition of the New Living Translation, printed last month. I just love the scriptures and to see a nice used bible languishing on a bookshelf doesn’t sit well with me. Some I have bought for the purpose of giving them away.

I have numerous translations, as I believe that each comes close to the bulls eye. By reading several translations, I can ‘bracket’ the bulls eye and perhaps get a better feeling for a particular book, letter or passage. Even DW agrees that there are far worse hobbies to have.

Tuesday at a local Goodwill store, I found a leather-bound 1914 Douay-Rheims in unbelievably well preserved condition. Gold embossed cover with a painting of our Lord, and gilt-edged pages. i was prepared to pay as much as the usual $2 but the cashier said “99 cents” AYKM?

Yes! The Bible has trapped you!
I also like to read from different ones for Bible study,.I get what you mean by bracket the bull’s eyes
Do you find significant difference in such a variety ?
Is there one you prefer over the other ones to study from?
Maybe I ll just read your new thread on Bibles…
Thank you!
